INSTALLATION ORBAN MODEL 9400
Setting Up Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections
If you are using an Ethernet connection and your computer can successfully connect
to the Internet through its Ethernet port, it already has the correct (TCP/IP) networking
set up to communicate with the 9400. In most cases, all you need is your 9400’s
IP address, Port, and Gateway number, as set in step 1 on page 2-47. You will enter
these when you create a “connection” to your 9400 from the 9400 PC Remote application
— see step (E) on page 3-62. If your computer does not have a working
Ethernet port, you will need to add one and then following the instructions provided
by Microsoft to set it up to enable TCP/IP networking.
If you wish to connect to your 9400 through your LAN or VPN (through a WAN or
the Internet), consult your network administrator. Note that to cross subnets, you
must specify a gateway. If the PC and 9400 are on the same subnet, then it is unnecessary
to specify a gateway.
If you are behind a firewall, you must open the port you specified in step (1.E) on
page 2-48. If the gateway, port, and firewall (if used) are configured correctly, it is
possible to connect 9400 PC Remote to a 9400 via a VPN.
Conclusion
By carefully following the instructions in the Appendix, you should have successfully
installed the necessary Windows services and connected to your 9400. However, if
you experience any problems with this process, or have any other 9400 questions,
